Overview

  • Step into the grit and glory of Michael Jordan’s 1990s Chicago Bulls dynasty. We trace the physical collision between global basketball myth and the reality of the Near West Side. From high school talent pipelines and pickup courts to working-class fan taverns, the vanished Chicago Stadium, and the redeveloped housing projects across Lake Street, this walk explores how an industrial city rebranded itself into an international sports capital—and what that transformation meant for the neighborhood living in the arena's shadow.
